Optical sensors are devices that detect light energy—from ultraviolet to infrared—and convert it into electrical signals. These sensors are primarily composed of photosensitive elements and are classified into four main types: ambient light sensors, infrared light sensors, solar light sensors, and ultraviolet light sensors. Thanks to their high precision and ability to process data in real-time via microcomputer connections, optical sensors are widely used in measuring both electrical and non-electrical quantities.

Finding obsolete optical sensors or end-of-life components in the open market can be challenging. Macywell specializes in offering a variety of such products, complete with in-stock inventory, datasheets, and convenient online purchasing. Explore our selection of hard-to-find optical sensors and transducers to meet your project requirements efficiently.
